A CRYING CHILD.

What it Cost . CITY to satisfy the Whim
oG tAs sultan's Son.
The French contractor of q bridge in
Constantinople once lost an immense
amount of money in the following man.
ner: The bridge was to have been
finished by . particular day. but the
contractor found that this would be im-
he worked day and night This he OBJ
tanned leave to do. and the necessary
lights and torches were supplied at the
Sultan's expense. All went well for a
time, till the unfortunate contractor
was told that he must open the bridge
to let . ship from the dock-yard pass
through some time before the bridge
was finished. He said it was impOs-
sible, as he would have to pull every
thing down. and it would take two or
three months to replace the scaffiolding
and pile-driving machines. He went to
the Ministers Of Marine and Finance.
They said: If the Sultan says it must
be done, it must, or we shall lose our
places. If not our heads" So the ship
came out at cost Of . little over
ElOO, 900 and q delay of three months
in the completion Of the bridge. all be-
cause the Sultan found his small son
crying in the harem one day, the child's
grief being that though he had been
promised to be made an Admiral. hs
could not sec his flag hoisted on his
particular ship from the nursery win
dowa So . large iron-clad was brought
out from the dock-yard and mOored in
front of Dolmabagtcheh to CRAFTY his
infant mind, thus causing enormous
inconvenience TO the whole town for
months. to say nothing Of the waste
of money. Of which the Sultan paid
very little.

was the getting out Of the mail-baee
from the room where they were slowed
in the bow, but We met that by SIMPLY
cutting hole through the iron side OF
the vessel and getting ut them directly.

be carried out separately. for no tackle
could ever have dragged them out by
the tortuous way they would h@e hau

other things, we fished alt. 1t stopped

the exact time that the vessel went
down, no doubt.
.About the middle of September we
found that we had got out all that could
be rescued that was of any value at all.
and all that was left was to soe that
nothing of the vessel was left sticking
up far enough to be a'l obstruction in
the way Of commerce. We satisfied
ourselves that the highest point of the
vessel left was twelve fathOms below
the surface The foremast had fallen
when she went down, and the main.
mast and smOke-stacks were swept
away By the heavy waves made by
storms. All was without thepossibility
of doing harm. and ON September 9th
We came away.
1.-The amount that We will receive
for our services can not be fixed until
the underwriters have ascertatned the
value of cargo recovered. as o,lr COM
pensatiOn comes in the form of per.
centage. the proportion of which is, in
every instance >aependent upon the
value of the recovery and the difficult
ties attendant upon the work of sal.
wage. The underwriters generally fix
the amount of percentage to be allowed.
People who know little about such mat
ters are apt to be surprised At our per-
centages and think that We must make
enormous fortunes on every wreck.
But they do not know the cost of the
work to us. We have to keep large
and expensive force ready AL the time,
and our fires banked ready for instant
service. We have been rs mlGh as five
months with nothing to do. yet under
heavy expenses al the time. And then
when we get to work, see what our ex-
penditure must amount to. The fact
is that there is very much less profit
and far more risk of capit& and dan.
ger to life in our business than per-
sons outside marine circh.s have any
idea Of For saving tho material OF a
vessel we get from fifty to seventy per
cent. of its value. The allowance on
salvage of cargo depends upon circum.
stances. and is either privately agreed
upon with owners or LEFT to the settle

the Tariff" and, although a good many
of the village people did not feel much
interested in the subject, they all went
because the speaker was such great
man, and they could all 60 in for moth
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller went. and they
took Ruby with them. Imagine their
surprise when, after the lecturer had
been through long and somewhat
prosy talk on rents, he said: "Why,
ladies and gentlemen, 1 have even
heard Of man so mean that he asked
rent for about square rod of ground
in country village. Not only that.
but he exacted it of little girl, not ten

permission, without his naming any
conditions, to raise few melons on it.

People said that Squire Ellington
grew very red when this story was
told. At any rate, he never said any
thing more to Ruby about paying rent
for her little melon patch, and she
bought the shoes and the canary, and
by good management she saved twenty
cents, with which she bought little

ORIGIN OF A NAME.

Young Sawbones McCancer he was an M. D.,
With an ONCE IN Trinity Square
He could amputate elbows or legs at the knee,
And analyze handfuls OF hair.
He could write q prescription in French or
Charge a syphon of vichy with gas;
Or make small pill out OF poison and glue,
Or an inward emetic from glass;
He could follow germ to the end of its term,
And diagnose fdgets and fits;
He could tell you the cut Of roach or worm,
And vivisect CANNES and kits.
but business was dull, and the dollars we're few,
And he longed for a 'beautiful case"
No compound abrasions nor fracturiDgs new
Had happened OF late in the place.
So he sought DR.. Lightdrug, the great homoo-
And with him he talked the thing DER.
"Doar Doctor, let's smother our choler and
And dwell now in peace evermore"
Said Lightdrug: "well said; we must try to
Some new and peculiar disease.
Which will be just as sure to come round as the

While we become fat on the fees.

Or man has been out rather late,

And the dangers remarkably great

And give them some technical name"
Said McCancer: "Quite good! You're genius,
see,
Let US haste to begin with the game
In month from the time OF this ethical talk,
The sickness was sad to behold;
For women grew white as a statue OF chalk,
And affiiction possessed young and old.
The ladies' OF wealth were all struck with the
plague
Because-dont you see'-'twas the style;
And the gentlemen, too, when they felt rather
vague
From too frequent attempts at "smile."
Thus they raked in the dollars; their bank &C.
counts grew:
And each ran a double horse chaise.
These doctors gave dinners to nabobs they knew.
And filled their own names with high praise.
And the medical journals assured the scheme

BY discussing each case great and small.
And called the disease Ut needed name)
